IMPROVEMENT IN BENCH-PLANES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 161,701, dated April 6, 1875; application filed February 13, 1875.

To all whomit may concern Be it known that I, JOHN E. Nonwoon, of Boston, Suffolk county, Massachusetts, have invented a new and Improved Bench-Plane, of which the following is a specification:

Figure 1 represents a vertical longitudinal section of my improved plane. Fig. 2 is a top view of the same, and Fig. 3 a detail top view of the cutting-iron.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The invention will first be fully described, and then pointed out in the claim.

A represents a block plane-stock, of the usual construction, and B the cutting-iron used therein. The stock A is provided with side openings 0, through which the cuttingiron B, which is made with side extensions B, as shown in Fig. 3, is permitted to pass out flush with the outside of the stock. The cutting-iron B is rigidly fastened and adjusted in the customary manner to the stock, and allows of the use of the plane for cutting rabbets, or

Having thus described my invention, I clai n1 as new and desire to secure by Letters Pat ent- The combination of a stock, having guideedges on each side, with openings 0 O and a plane-iron, B, having extensions B, as and for the purpose described.
